My place is close to Blenheim Palace, The Cotswold Wildlife Park, buses and trains to Oxford and London. Great pubs and country walks. You'll love my place for the comfortable bed and very warm welcome I afford all of my guests. Taxis are easily available.

The view at the back of my house at breakfast time is spectacular. You are assured a restful night's sleep because my house is in a quiet cul de sac.

A brilliant host. Thank you so much.

Outstanding communication, stunning views, comfortable clean bedroom and excellent breakfast! Add in Eileen's willingness to go the extra mile (tea and homemade scone on arrival, and allowing us to leave our bags to collect later on our last day) and it made for a lovely stay. Highly recommend!

Jo2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay in Eileen's house. She is a great host and made us feel like home. This was a proper BnB, with a huge bed and an amazing full continental breakfast. Definitely recommend it!

Dionysios2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

Eileen is a fantastic hostess and I left her house feeling sorry I could not have stayed longer. She was most generous and attentive without being obtrusive, the room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Charlbury is a very picturesque place with numerous walks in the beautiful countryside and Eileen made sure I had all the information I could possibly ask for. A wonderful experience which I very much recommend.

Maria2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

We had a short but sweet stay with Eileen. Eileen was very flexible with our check in and upon arrival made us feel very welcome.. we had a cup of tea in hand in a moment. With a very comfy bed, great shower and delicious breakfast we would happily recommend Eileen.

Frankie2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay in Charlbury with Eileen. She is a generous hostess, providing every comfort in her lovely home. The breakfast was excellent and Eileen kindly allowed us to eat a takeaway in her conservatory with a view in the evening. She also provided a secure place for our bikes.

Shirley2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

It was a short but nice visit I had to Charlbury. Eileen is a wonderful host and also makes a great breakfast at a small surcharge to the booking price. The terrace where we ate breakfast has a fantastic views of the green rolling hills typical of the area. I definitely recommend.

Rene2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Mrs. Eileen was a wonderful host. Her house was clean, tidy and ready on time. The place is beautiful and peaceful. Also, the advantage of this village is a simple exploration of other surrounding villages.

The Pyramid house sits in a piece of the loveliest of Costwold landscapes. Only sounds are of birdsong and the rustle of trees.

A tranquil night's stay inthis idyllic little corner of the Cotswolds. A very hospitable host, Jenny made me feel at home in her beautiful surroundings. Nothing felt like too much trouble and I felt open to come and go as I pleased.

Rhiannon2015-06-21T00:00:00Z

A handwritten note welcomed us to the house which set off a wonderful weekend in the Cotswolds. Emma has a beautiful home, peaceful relaxing and inspiring space with idyllic rural views. We felt really at home. Amazing location for country walks and pub lunch (recommend the Bull in Charlbury). Great rest, would love to come back!

Ellie2016-09-04T00:00:00Z

A thoroughly enjoyable weekend in this wonderful country retreat - a perfect place to escape! The house is located in great proximity for long country walks & all the activities that the Cotswolds have to offer. Emma was a fantastic host - very welcoming, friendly & made fabulous breakfast!

David2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

Emma was very welcoming and came to meet us down the road so that we could find the place. The house was a beautiful and not too far from Wilderness festival for us to travel in. She provided a wonderful breakfast for us each morning and was a lovely host. However, the sofa bed was too small for two, and the day bed was not private enough for us to want to spend an extra £20 to stay in it.

Annette2016-08-09T00:00:00Z

Emma is a wonderful host and Spelsbury is a beautiful village and well placed for exploring the area. Thank you so much.

Andrew2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Lovely room, comfortable bed, delicious home-made jams for breakfast. Emma is super friendly and very tolerant of young children.

Emilie2015-09-22T00:00:00Z

Thank you Emma for welcoming us into your home. It is brimming with quirky arts & crafts, & the surroundings are beautiful. The beds were a bit of a surprise, one was a sofa bed in its own room- so on the small side & the other was a bed within cupboards on the wall in the open planned lounge/dining room/kitchen- so very small & not in an environment conducive to sleeping & privacy. During our stay we were using the kitchen a lot, as we love to cook & create, we found this a bit challenging due to not being well equipped. Unfortunately we found the housekeeping below par. Though we appreciate we all have different standards, this is something that we feel needs to be addressed.

Carly2015-11-09T00:00:00Z

Emma is a lovely host, warm and welcoming. The house is set in beautiful countryside with lovely gardens, fine views and a fascinating pyramid! The room is cosy and the bed, while smaller than my partner and I had anticipated, was very comfortable. There's lots of peace and quiet and plenty of privacy.

Charbury is a lovely Cotswold town, and our house is hidden in the middle. The little wooden cottage has a totally modernised interior. Open plan living space with kitchen (all mod cons), Sky TV (inc sport & movies), decked balcony & the bedroom is ensuite.

Charlbury is that rare thing - an unspoilt Cotswold town. Off the beaten track, yet easy to reach; sought after, but down to earth too.
Sequestered down winding B roads, Charlbury nestles on the Oxfordshire edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A town centre in characteristic local stone is joined by an attractive tangle of more modern developments, attractively perched on the side of the Evenlode valley.
There's always something going in Charlbury, as the crowded noticeboards demonstrate. Talks in the Corner House, live music at the Shed and the Rose & Crown, guided walks, bustling churches, summer festivals, cricket and Morris teams - and that’s just to scratch the surface. The charming Brunel station has direct trains to Oxford and London; the shops include a well-stocked and perpetually busy Co-op supermarket.
Come for the weekend, and prepare to be enchanted by our friendly little town.

Lovely welcome. Charming town. Close to railway station. The cottage was not overlooked and surrounded by lovely gardens. The cottage was equipped with everything you could possibly think of. Will definitely book again.

Sharon2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

Leonie2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Well worth the trip to Charlbury just to stay here. Wonderful accommodations in a quiet garden.

Chuck2015-11-25T00:00:00Z

Great stay! Helena totally made sure we were comfortable and was great at communicating. The building itself is really lovely -- new construction inside and an adorable lawn outside. Also, adorable town!

Kerry Anne2015-08-23T00:00:00Z

Just what we were looking for this weekend. A warm welcome from the family. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Would recommend!

Laura2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

Beautiful cottage, it's large, clean and tidy. The cottage is really well decorated and well equipped. The landlord is super friendly, we will definitely stay in the same place if we visit Charlbury again!

Kaushal2016-05-02T00:00:00Z

Lovely lodge in a great location

Jodi2017-01-08T00:00:00Z

Beautiful place ideally located within Charlbury. Beautifully decorated - everything in the cabin is to a very high spec and everything you need for your stay is provided. It's within walking distance from the train station, convenience store and fantastic pub The Bull. Would definitely recommend as one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had, and I hope to return myself!

Beautiful 18th Century Cottage, with gardens, and unspoilt views across miles of rolling landscape. A cherished family-owned home for decades, all amenities from washing machine, dishwasher and dryer to wifi are provided. We're 80 yards from the nearest house along a quiet rural lane, providing total tranquility, but with great, close connections to Oxford and London by road and rail. All of the glorious walks and attractions of the Cotswolds on our doorstep.

The cottage is arranged over three floors (covering a little over 2000 square feet) with four bedrooms, a living area, a dining area, a kitchen, a bathroom and a cellar. The property has two outside gardens and a patio all of which are part of the property. A barbecue is available if needed, plus additional chairs for outside seating. The field beyond is privately owned, so off-limits I'm afraid, and you must of course stick to public footpaths if you're out walking.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
All the attractions of this part of the Cotswolds are widely published elsewhere. Local attractions (within 15 miles or so) to note include Blenheim Palace, the Cornbury and Wilderness Music Festivals, and the Cotswold Wildlife Park. We have several walking guides with local routes and attractions. We particularly like the walk around the valley, with a detour into Spelsbury, where you can find a beautiful medieval church. The poet and notorious rake Lord Rochester and his unfortunate wife are buried there. Turn right as you leave the house, then turn right again, go through a wood and cross a little stream. Then bear left as you cross another field and you've arrived in Spelsbury.
Oxford is 16 miles away. You can drive and leave your car at the Pear Tree park and Ride. Parking in Oxford is not easy and fairly expensive but if you're going for a short trip you can try and find a space in one of the car parks in town. You can also get to Oxford by train. Drive to Charlbury, leave your car at the station car park (Pay and Display) and take a train to Oxford.
If you don't want to leave your car at the car park you can call one of the local cab firms and they will pick you up from the cottage.
SHOPPING
There are NO shops in Taston so do your shopping before you come. There's a small but well stocked up Co-op supermarket in Charlbury (keep going straight on after you enter the town and you'll find it on your right). You can get all your basic provisions there, including fresh fruit and vegetables and of course booze.
If you need a proper pharmacy there is one on the High Street, about 100 meters away from the Co-op
If you can't find what you need in Charlbury you can go to Chipping Norton, a 10 minute drive from the Cottage. There's a Sainsbury's and a much bigger Co-op, the Beales department store, a good butcher and various independent shops. There are also bookshops, cafes and takeaway of various sort, at least two of them Chinese.

The cottage is simply great. Very cosy, lots of charm and plenty of space (though there is the odd low ceiling to keep in mind if you are tall). There are many things to do in the wider area but you can also walk from the cottage using the public footpaths that lead you everywhere (have a look in the Spellsbury church just across two fields and a brook) We saw a fox, a badger and a tawny owl in the immediate neighborhood of the cottage.

Iman2017-07-18T00:00:00Z

Lovely house in fantastic location.

TheStockwellA2016-07-10T00:00:00Z

This cottage was perfect for us. It was me, my four daughters (11, 10, 8, and 6), and my 81 year-old mother. The stairs might be difficult for some but she had no trouble. My daughters enjoyed the cottage and found it somewhat magical. The backyard has an old tree with a somewhat hollow base they would huddle inside. The location is incredibly quiet and feels secluded but not isolated. If you follow the directions you won’t have a problem finding the cottage, even at night as we did. We were in a 7-person minivan (minibus) so turning around was a little tight but with a little practice it was no problem. Smaller cars should have no trouble.

Mitch2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

Great place for our whole family to meet up in the Coswolds. Lovely views and a super location not far from Chipping Norton and other towns / villages. Blenheim just down the road and loads of pubs for lunches. Plenty of space in the bedroom and the kitchen has a very 'country' feel. Even managed to get the fie lit one night when it was colder which made it feel very cosy.

Peter2016-08-24T00:00:00Z

I spent a great weekend at Ed's cottage with a few friends. The cottage is exactly as described and a great place to relax and cook. We're planning to come back.

Julien2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Anna's property in Taston and there was plenty of room for myself and 7 of my friends. I would recommend the property to any large group/family as there's plenty of lovely walks and the lovely village of Charlbury is also in walking distance.

Lizzie2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

We had an extraordinarily wonderful week at Ed's house in the country. From the first moment, we felt generously welcomed by Ed. Both before and during our stay, he answered all our questions immediately, warmly and very helpfully. The house is exactly as portrayed, beautifully alive with the past, with everything spotless and working flawlessly. It's located along a charming winding lane in the midst of rolling fields, birdsong, breezes and delightful vistas, but still within convenient reach of the nearest village and Oxford and beyond. Remarkably peaceful and relaxing. Would gladly return!

Charlbury is a little known village located in what many people describe as 'the golden triangle' of the Cotswolds. So called because of its proximity to places such as Chipping Norton, Stow on the Wold and Burford - each of which are about 10 / 15 mins away. It is also one of the very few places that has its own train station which comes from Paddington London. (You can walk to the cottages from the station, it will take about 20 mins walk)
The village has absolutely absolutely everything you could wish, a few good pubs, (The Bull at Charlbury, The Bell and The Rose and Crown) some serving good food, an excellent convenience store plus a few other basic shops - there is even a farmer's market once a month. There is superb architecture throughout but especially in the heart of the old village.
We recommend, if you can, to travel to Great Tew where not only is a superb village, but a excllent pub, The Falkland Arms, a totally quintessential village pub, under a thatched roof. Beautiful!
There are loads of things to do while in Charlbury, including a must do walk to Cornbury House a stunning private manor which isn't open to the public but which has a number of walks through the grounds. This is in Charlbury. The Wilderness Festival in July is a must do if you can, similarly Cornbury both of which are music festivals over a wekend and are amongst the best for families in the UK.
Woodstock is very close by, approx 5 miles away, where you will find a wider range of shops and restaurants plus, of course, Blenheim Palace the seat of the Duke of Marlborough and previously the home to Winston Churchill. A day trip here is a must if you have the time.
The countryside in this area is extremely attractive and explains why it is amongst the most attractive places (and sort after too) to live in the Cotswolds.

Very lovely cottage within a great area. Good value for money, clean and roomy

It was one of my best stays with Airbnb. Eileen was kind enough to take my booking at very short notice. She is charming and refined host who was easy to converse with and was very knowledgeable. She was able to give some very useful information in regards to local attractions and places to eat. It was worth the price to stay just for her absolutely superb breakfast. If you are staying in the area make it your first choice. Garry

A stunning room with a curved wall, in a Cotswold cottage in the heart of gorgeous Charlbury. The room has a double bed, an ensuite bathroom and has space for a mattress or cot. Great walking and cycling, good pubs both for beer and food, near Oxford & Blenheim Palace, Woodstock. Visitors welcome to use the kitchen and living room, shared with the family. We have a dog and run a sourdough bakery, where the bread is fermented slowly and cooked in a wood fired oven.

Charlbury is a medieval Cotswold town, with narrow winding streets, stunning views and beautiful stone cottages. The room has a curved wall looking out over a wonderful view of the garden. From the terrace you can see across to the church, with swifts soaring.

We are in the heart of Charlbury, a medieval Cotswold town. There are 5 or more churches, 4 pubs with good beer and good food, a deli and a small cooperative supermarket. Good walks and cycling in the area as well as many other beautiful Cotswold villages - including Burford and Woodstock (Blenheim Palace). It is also handy for Oxford, which is just 15 minutes away by train.

Lovely hosts, comfy bed, great location. Better than perfect as such an interesting and lovely family.

Deep was so nice showing us his small bakery and the bread is amazing. Overall we highly recommend staying at their place and we hope to come back some day. Many thanks :-)

2 x double bedrooms + private adjoining living room & ensuite shower room in a characterful house. Large garden. Quiet country setting. Short walk to town centre and railway. Great base for Oxford, Blenheim Palace, Bicester Village and the Cotswolds.

The Space
The original 1900 brick house has been extended with a cotswold stone barn; the 2 parts linked with a large, double storey, plant filled conservatory. It is in a quiet setting within half an acre of tree-filled country garden.
Sleeps 4: 2 couples or a couple and 2 children.

Charlbury is a friendly, pretty little Cotswold town with 4 pubs (2 of which serve food), a supermarket and a number of local independent shops. There are plenty of other attractive towns within 30 mins drive - Woodstock (home of Blenheim Palace), Chipping Norton, Stow on the Wold, Burford. Oxford is also only 30 mins drive. Charlbury is on the Oxfordshire Way in pleasant walking country.

Maria and Stuart were very easygoing and friendly hosts. They even went out of their way to help us plan out our travels and suggested some nice places to visit/restaurants to eat at. Their house is very unique (I love the 'conservatory' area that is so quaintly designed and built)...and has all the cosy feel of a welcoming home, as well as the charm of the Cotswolds. I would highly recommend a night (or two, or three!) at this place, and would definately book another stay myself if i went that way again.

Nai2014-04-22T00:00:00Z

Maria and Stuart's house in Spellwood is enchanting and the town of Charlbury is a picture perfect example of a Cotswold town. The accommodation, virtually a small apartment with its own bathroom, is entirely seperate from the main house but connected by a charming conservatory filled with plants out of which you can see their beautiful garden. We were lucky to have gorgeous weather and in the short time we spent in their house we were made to feel very welcome. In the morning a breakfast tray had been left for us and we were able to treat ourselves to homemade bread and jam. The view from the window by our comfy double bed was gorgeous.

Sally2014-05-05T00:00:00Z

We very much enjoyed our one night stay at Maria and Stuart's B&B, the layout with 2 bedrooms and sitting room suited us perfectly and the breakfast with homemade bread and jam was lovely! Thank you for welcoming us into your home, it was a great location for us, both to visit Blenheim Palace and celebrate my sister's birthday by enjoying the countryside and quaint villages of the Cotswolds.

Anne2015-03-22T00:00:00Z

Maria wasn't there the night we stayed. However, Stuart proved to be a very capable host. He provided us with maps to find a delicious restaurant, a gorgeous garden with sculptures and the best route through the Cotswalds. Breakfast was fabulous with home made bread too. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay.

Wendy2016-06-20T00:00:00Z

如果你喜欢cotswold乡间的木制小阁楼,可以来试试这里。因为是木地板所以有点不隔音,卫生间稍微有点简陋。这里离牛津比较近。房东很好人,推荐的地方都不错,不要错过swinbrook这个小镇,有徒步路线可以走到burford,很不错的一条线路哦。 It's a charming house near Oxford, Maria and her family are very helpful, they give us lots of suggestions about the area, it's great, we really enjoy their recommendations. It's a little bit difficult for us to find this cottage, we lost our way in a rainy night, you can first go to Charlbury and then call them for help or ask for the GPS coodianates.We had dinner in the restaurant called The Bell in Charbury, it's good worth a trying.

Bed and light breakfast in the centre of the lovely quiet Cotswold town only a short walk from the railway station (Oxford 15 minutes) and local facilities. Double, well-appointed first-floor room and private landing area. Parking, if needed, is in our drive.

We had Lower Watts House designed and built twenty years ago and it has lived up to its expectations – the clue is in the name - using a fraction of the energy of a comparable building. The layout of the large house naturally lends itself to separately accommodating up to four guests in two double first-floor rooms with a private landing seating area. Please be aware that there are no cooking facilities (guests usually walk up to eat at one of two local inns). Secure bicycle stabling is available.

Charlbury is a beautiful quiet Cotswold town with access to beautiful scenery, but with easy access to Oxford and London. It is perfect base for exploring the area, Blenheim Palace is on our doorstep and Stratford upon Avon is a short drive or train ride away.

Steve is the perfect host - friendly, helpful and attentive in just the right ways. Lower Watts House is delightful and the room and en suite bathroom were excellent. Breakfast was a real treat - fruit with yoghurt, fresh croissants and good coffee, all served at 8 on Sunday morning at my request. Also Charlbury is lovely and there was a choice of two nice pubs within 100 yards for supper. Highly recommended all round.

For the night that we stayed with Stephen he was a fantastic host. He provided very useful information about the local area and was flexible with arrival times. The room itself was large and we had towels and everything else we needed provided for us. Breakfast was a highlight with the excellent jams and large selection! It is a lovely house based in a nice quiet village. Perfect for a weekend away or anything longer!

Rollo2014-11-02T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I stayed two nights at Stephen's place. It was really good! Stephen's house was beautiful with a large garden. The room was nice and clean with everything you needed. There was a living room to the guests themselves. Stephen gave us a lot of advice on where to go and lent us maps and books. Chalbury was a lovely village itself. Nice continental breakfast with a lovely view of the garden. I would definitely go back!

Terri2015-04-06T00:00:00Z

Lovely spacious house in a great location. Thanks to Stephen we were able to stay at short notice and his hospitality was so generous. The rooms are immaculate, very clean and comfortable. Stephen put on a very generous continental breakfast for us and he gave us loads of information about driving through the Cotswolds - even printing out suggestions on routes to take and things to see. Definitely highly recommend to anyone.

Elissa2015-03-07T00:00:00Z

Absolutely amazing! Stephen was incredibly welcoming, lovely house, delicious breakfast, super comfy bed, heavenly shower! He went over & above to help us out & make our stay fab!

Beany2015-05-31T00:00:00Z

The house & room were absolutely lovely. Stephen couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. The location is great for walking. We did two glorious full day walks right from the front door (we came by train and did not have access to a car). Stephen is a brilliant source of local information and provides lots of advice. We went in November, but the house was lovely and warm with a great shower.

Girish2014-11-22T00:00:00Z

My stay in Charlbury started out just right, as my train arrived it had started to pour rain and to my surprise Stephen was at the station to offer me a ride to his place. Stephen is very kind and considerate. He was very helpful with information about the Cotswolds. His place is absolutely beautiful. Breakfast was great too. Highly recommend.

Wayne2015-05-21T00:00:00Z

We spent one very comfortable night at Lower Watts House, and had a great time. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was super comfortable, and we even had fluffy bathrobes and bedroom slippers provided for us. Breakfast was delicious and varied. Stephen was very helpful in giving us suggestions of places to eat, and helped us plan our walk in the vicinity of Blenheim palace. Overall a really good experience, and we would highly recommend it!

Denise is a very nice host.her house is clean,bright and tidy. everything is good here.The host is patient to write all details in the paper and send me in email.She is so nice though we didn't meet but our communication goes well.

Cola2016-02-17T00:00:00Z

In London en route from Canada for our son's graduation, we learned that the Airbnb house we booked in Oxford 9 months earlier suddenly needed repairs and was no longer available. As I feared, there was absolutely nothing available in Oxford at that point, not even a hotel room. Slight panic ensued until I found Denise's house, a 20 minute train ride from Oxford. Lucky for us, she had a cancellation. We moved right in and had a wonderful 5 night stay. It was an easy commute to all the convocation festivities in Oxford yet located in the idyllic, serenely beautiful English country side. On the 5 minute walk between the train and house, you see horses grazing and hear song birds. The house is lovely, with a well equipped kitchen and iconic English garden. And the village, just a few minutes walk through the church yard, has excellent pubs and shops. Denise was a pleasure to deal with and very caring and responsive. All in all, a wonderful stay. We already long to return!

Marianne2017-07-25T00:00:00Z

Our host made us feel very welcome, Denise even left a bottle of wine as a welcome. We had prompt replies to our enquiries. The description was correct. The location was fabulous. In a cute little village with great little pubs. Loved the place and would highly recommend the place.

DEIDRE2015-06-24T00:00:00Z

Lovely cottage in a lovely village. Great communication even to tell us about a leaking toilet. We were a family holiday with parents, brother and one toddler, and the cottage was a lovely, comfortable stay! We had been warned and sure enough we had to be vigilant with the cream carpets and light coloured sofas, but they are indeed very lovely. Good quality beds and country air - v restful!

Joanna2015-04-07T00:00:00Z

Place was well located for the Wilderness Festival, It was clean, Charming and was exactly what we needed for our stay

Sam2016-08-09T00:00:00Z

Denise was a very welcoming and accommodating host and sent me a detailed house pack before I arrived to ensure I had a pleasant stay. She was also easy to contact via both telephone and email. The house was really nice and a perfect size for my group of 6. It is only 5 minutes walk from the station which made travel easier and only 10 minutes walk from the town centre. I would defiantly recommend staying here as I had such an enjoyable trip!

Alveena2016-04-01T00:00:00Z

We had such a lovely time in Charlbury! The cottage is wonderful and comfortable to stay in with a group: plenty of space and a lovely garden, too. The cottage is ideally situated, just a short walk from the train station and very near shops, pubs and coffeeshops. Denise is a great host: very communicative and clear and helpful in her instructions. I would highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful one bedroom flat in the heart of Charlbury. Just a short walk through the Churchyard from Charlbury Station and a few doors down from a really great pub, The Bull. Close to the villages of Great Tew (Soho Farmhouse), Kingham, Daylesford (Organic Farmshop/Cafe) and Churchill as well as nearby towns Burford and Chipping Norton. Great for walkers, lots of really lovely loop walks from the flat.

Charlbury is a small town in the Evenlode valley at the edge of the Wychwood Forest and home to Cornbury Estate (Wilderness Festival).
There are plenty of places to eat and drink. My favourite is The Bull which opens from 8am for breakfast and has a great garden and cosy sofas by the fire. There is also The Old Shed which you can walk to through a nature reserve for breakfast/lunch/ fish and chips in the evening. Plus, The Charlbury Deli and Cafe which does great coffee and sells newspapers. There is also a co-op which stays open until 11pm inc Sundays for everything else.

Lovely flat, in a beautiful setting. A great host!

The cottage is within driving distance of a town with plenty of shops. The cottage it self was lovely and very child friendly. It was a pleasure dealing with Katheren and was great holiday

Charlbury is a little known village located in what many people describe as 'the golden triangle' of the Cotswolds. So called because of its proximity to places such as Chipping Norton, Stow on the Wold and Burford - each of which are about 10 / 15 mins away. It is also one of the very few places that has its own train station which comes from Paddington London. (You can walk to the cottages from the station, it will take about 20 mins walk)
The village has absolutely absolutely everything you could wish, a few good pubs, (The Bull at Charlbury, The Bell and The Rose and Crown) some serving good food, an excellent convenience store plus a few other basic shops - there is even a farmer's market once a month. There is superb architecture throughout but especially in the heart of the old village.
We recommend, if you can, to travel to Great Tew where not only is a superb village, but a excllent pub, The Falkland Arms, a totally quintessential village pub, under a thatched roof. Beautiful!
There are loads of things to do while in Charlbury, including a must do walk to Cornbury House a stunning private manor which isn't open to the public but which has a number of walks through the grounds. This is in Charlbury. The Wilderness Festival in July is a must do if you can, similarly Cornbury both of which are music festivals over a wekend and are amongst the best for families in the UK.
Woodstock is very close by, approx 5 miles away, where you will find a wider range of shops and restaurants plus, of course, Blenheim Palace the seat of the Duke of Marlborough and previously the home to Winston Churchill. A day trip here is a must if you have the time.
The countryside in this area is extremely attractive and explains why it is amongst the most attractive places (and sort after too) to live in the Cotswolds.

Bed and light breakfast in the centre of the lovely quiet Cotswold town only a short walk from the railway station (Oxford 15 minutes) and local facilities. Double, well-appointed first-floor room and private landing area. Parking, if needed, is in our drive.

We had Lower Watts House designed and built twenty years ago and it has lived up to its expectations – the clue is in the name - using a fraction of the energy of a comparable building. The layout of the large house naturally lends itself to separately accommodating up to four guests in two double first-floor rooms with a private landing seating area. Please be aware that there are no cooking facilities (guests usually walk up to eat at one of two local inns). Secure bicycle stabling is available.

Charlbury is a beautiful quiet Cotswold town with access to beautiful scenery, but with easy access to Oxford and London. It is perfect base for exploring the area, Blenheim Palace is on our doorstep and Stratford upon Avon is a short drive or train ride away.

We had a lovely stay in the Green Room at Lower Watts house. Spacious room, sitting area and bathroom. Quiet and comfortable. Delicious continental breakfast. Stephen was very responsive to all queries. Would recommend.

Julia2016-10-24T00:00:00Z

Stephen made us feel so welcome - he has such a gorgeous house and showed us to our light and airy rooms straight away. He couldn't have done anything more - from the delicious freshly-baked croissants to ironing my boyfriend's shirt and giving our friend a lift to the wedding she was running late to he really went above and beyond and we will definitely be returning!

Pippa2015-05-31T00:00:00Z

Stephen was a great host! The house is only a short 5-10 minute walk from Charlbury train station which was very convenient. Stephen kindly allowed us to check-in a bit early so we could get ready for the wedding we were attending. The accommodation was exceptionally clean and rooms were very spacious. I stayed in the green room and my friend stayed in the blue room and it was nice to have the shared private seating area outside the two rooms. Stephen provided a good selection at breakfast with fruits, cereals, pastries and home made jams. The surrounding countryside was stunning and we wished we had a bit more time to explore! Stephen offered to drop us back at the train station the next morning but as we had a bit of time we were happy to take the short walk as the views were so pretty. I will definitely be recommending this B&B to friends and family!

rachel2015-08-16T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Lower Watts House. Stephen was very friendly and helpful - he suggested places for dinner and walks around the area (he also printed a map for us). The room is very spacious and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was great too. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends.

Tina2015-04-04T00:00:00Z

I stayed with my boyfriend for one night, and we had an amazing time! Stephen was extremely welcoming and accommodating, considering that we booked on the morning of the day we arrived! The house is beautiful, very clean, the room super comfortable. The house and surroundings are even more beautiful than they appear in the photos on the site. The gardens of the house are magical and we enjoyed a lovely late lunch on the table in the garden, including also a fresh lemon as my birthday present from the small lemon tree in the garden :) Breakfast included was abundant and delicious, and included fresh strawberries from the garden! The village is so pretty and on the 2nd day the nice people arranging the garden recommended a nice place to eat in a nearby village. We were extremely impressed and would love to return for a longer break out of London. Thank you Stephen!

Maria2015-06-19T00:00:00Z

Two beautiful nights! I must be regretful if I only go to Oxford and not stay here. Thank you, Reg and Sue! You made our stay special!

peak2016-07-15T00:00:00Z

Stephen´s place is a lovely house in a lovely place in the Costwolds. Charlbury is a perfect village for a short break. The room and the landing area was very clean and the bed very comfortable. Stephen was attentive during our stay.

maria2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

Stephen, is a host from the bottom of his soul: a warm welcome full of informations we guests wanted to know. His house is a lovely Cotswolds cottage. The room we got was spacious and clean. Stephen tried to read our wishes from our lips. Everything is so uncomplicated. A great stay with a host by heart!

Double bedroom with private adjoining living room & ensuite shower room in a characterful house. Large garden. Quiet country location.Short walk to town centre and railway. Great base for Oxford, Blenheim Palace, Bicester Village and the Cotswolds.

The original 1900 brick house has been extended with a cotswold stone barn; the 2 parts linked with a large, double storey, plant filled conservatory. It is in a quiet setting within half an acre of tree-filled country garden.
Sleeps 2.

Charlbury is a friendly, pretty little Cotswold town with 4 pubs (2 of which serve food), a supermarket and a number of local independent shops. There are plenty of other attractive towns within 30 mins drive - Woodstock (home of Blenheim Palace), Chipping Norton, Stow on the Wold, Burford. Oxford is also only 30 mins drive. Charlbury is on the Oxfordshire Way in pleasant walking country.

Wonderful host and stay! Maria made us feel very welcome and we were spoilt every morning with an amazing continental breakfast spread with homemade bread, jam and homegrown fruits. The house has such great character and is a lovely place to relax in a beautiful setting. The room was very private, clean and comfortable. Thank you so much Maria! Should we visit Oxford again we will most definitely be staying here. Highly recommended!

Holly2015-10-11T00:00:00Z

Maria and her family were ever the warm and accommodating hosts. Their home was beautiful, clean, central to town and very very comfortable. We had an excellent stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone we meet. Thank-you so much Maria for your hospitality. It was lovely to meet you.

Sarah2014-08-11T00:00:00Z

A big thank you to Maria and Stewart. We felt with you very well. As explained in the description of the house is very quiet and we had to sit all freedom in the garden or in the beautifully landscaped winter garden. Stewart was a very attentive host - we were spoiled with homemade bread and herbal tea fresh from the garden. :) Even Stewart has great tips and maps for exploring the area written to us. We would stay again at any time with Mary and Stewart.

Carolin2016-06-13T00:00:00Z

Maria is a fantastic host and her family was very welcoming. The house looks like it has been lifted out of a fairy tale and is very different in a positive way. The skylights, the dining area enveloped in glass are beautiful touches to the space and leaves one feeling refreshed and positive. The breakfast with home baked goodies were a treat. We enjoyed the stay in the house immensely. A trip to this house is highly recommended!

Ajay2015-05-28T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely 3 night stay at this beautiful, atmosferic and charming country house. The owners are very friendly and pleasant and made us feel very much at home. We particularly enjoyed the enormous garden, a great place to relax after a nice walk in the serene countryside. The room however was a bit narrow for us two tall Dutchies. Mainly because of the pitched roof the bed only fits crossways in the room, with no space to walk around it, which leaves the one on the far side having to crawl over, and waking up, the other whilst getting out of bed. The overall cleanliness is another point of attention for the owners. This however didn't keep us from thouroughly enjoying our stay and we can warmly recommend this lovely place!

Leontien2015-07-06T00:00:00Z

We loved our short stay at Maria's place. The house is beautiful in a very peaceful and relaxing area. After a very easy check in we were given a much needed and very refreshing jug of homemade elderflower. We had everything we needed in our room including tea and coffee. We were there to visit Blenheim Palace which was a 10 minute taxi ride a way. Our visit was finished off perfectly with a delicious breakfast including homemade bread and marmalade. We would recommend Maria's place to anyone looking for a short break in peaceful surrounding with very helpful hosts. It certainly beat staying in a hotel for us.

Tessa2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Everything was just as described in the Airbnb listing, and Maria and Stuart were excellent hosts. Charlbury itself is a charming small market town in a lovely location. I would definitely recommend.

Roger2016-07-10T00:00:00Z

Maria's home in Charlbury was gorgeous, and had us perfectly placed to venture through the picturesque Cotswolds villages. We took the back roads, after amazing suggestions from the hosts, and had the best day. Our favourite spot was walking between Lower and Upper Slaughter. The Bull Hotel/Pub was also great for dinner (two nights in a row!) and literally a couple of minutes up the road. The house/accommodation was very comfortable and we slept almost too well! Waking up to country views and sunshine was perfect. Highly recommend this option for anyone venturing into the magical Cotswolds.

We found the rooms spotless clean, fully equipped (coffee tray, bathrobes, towels, TV, slippers, etc). The temperature was ideal. Stephen recommended a restaurant 5 minutes walk from the house: we really enjoyed the cosy atmosphere there, it was very lively and warm. Continental breakfast was served in the morning- v good coffee, croissants and a beautifully set table. Stephen also gave us some recommendations of best places to visit for the day. We felt welcomed and at ease, we would have stayed a bit longer... try and book at least 2/3 days.

Guillermo2016-10-21T00:00:00Z

We stayed at the Lower Watts House Annex and enjoyed it very much. The 2 bedrooms are spacious and Stephen put another single bed in the second bedroom, so that the double bed in the second bedroom did not need to be shared. We arrived late but this was not a problem for Stephen. He was the perfect host. His "light" breakfast was delicious and we were impressed by the home made croissant. The Lower Watts House Annex is just a 10 minute drive from Blenheim Palace and we spent a great day there. The gardens are beautiful. We would like to thank Stephen for looking after us so kindly. We can highly recommend it.

Tim2015-10-25T00:00:00Z

Stephen is a wonderful, wonderful host, who welcomed us when we checked in late at night. He is very friendly and ever so accommodating, there are reasons for all those stars in the other reviews. The annex was beautiful and very clean. My family and I were happy with the rooms and slept like babies on comfortable beds. I would recommend this place 200%. It's a home away from home.

Sarah2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

A really lovely, quiet and yet extraordinarily convenient and relaxed place (10 minutes walk to the station, about 70 minutes to London) for us and our two friends. A big thank you to Stephen and Liz who made us welcome and looked after us so well over our 2 night stay. The breakfasts were yummy. The house is an easy stroll from the village pubs and amenities. The the area abounds in beautiful walks.
